Making kafka connection to TLS1.2 and FIPS compliant

Question

We need to make our Kafka connection TLS 2.1 to be FIPS compliant. From where should we start exploring?
Is there a set of steps, which I should follow?

Accepted Answer

Hi, the following page shall provide you with useful information

https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/fips/
 
```
all AWS FIPS endpoints have been updated to only accept a minimum 
of Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 connections. This ensures that our customers
 who run regulated workloads can meet FedRAMP compliance requirements that 
mandate a minimum of TLS 1.2 encryption for data in transit. Read the announcement on the AWS Security blog post.
```

Managed Service for Kafka (MSK) is on the page.

If you also look for general info re. AWS Compliance Programs, start by https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/programs/

Hope it helps!
